Abstract:
Methods and apparatus are provided for identifying coordinates of a touch area on a touch screen panel based on a capacitive scheme. The touch screen panel has a first electrode layer having first electrode lines aligned in a first direction and a second electrode layer having second electrode lines aligned in a second direction. A signal generation unit generates a spread spectrum signal and supplies the spread spectrum signal to the first electrode layer. A signal restoration unit processes a band restoration for a signal input from the second electrode layer. A touch area coordinate identification unit identifies the coordinates of the touch area on the touch screen panel from a signal input from the signal restoration unit.
Abstract:
A touch sensor device includes a light guide plate for guiding light for backlighting; a touch sensor positioned on or underneath the light guide plate and formed with at least one electrode pattern on a surface thereof which faces the light guide plate; and at least one light source positioned on a side surface of the light guide plate for generating light to be directed by the light guide plate. The touch sensor device is thereby significantly thinner and requires much less energy than conventional sensors.
Abstract:
A touch sensor includes a Printed Circuit Board (PCB) that is transparent with respect to light in a visible wavelength band, an upper clad and a lower clad formed on the top face and the bottom face of the PCB, a light source for emitting light to a side of the PCB, and a key top layer disposed on the upper clad.
Abstract:
A sensor for measuring living body information and a keypad assembly including the sensor includes a light guide panel for guiding a first light. A light extracting pattern is provided on the light guide panel for outputting the first light guided by the light guide panel to an exterior of the light guide panel. A light coupling pattern is provided on the light guide panel for changing a proceeding direction of a second light incident from the exterior of the light guide panel, so that the second light is guided by the light guide panel.

Abstract:
Disclosed is a keypad assembly including a keypad; a touch sensor having a light-guiding plate, the touch sensor being positioned beneath the keypad so as to reflect light incident on the light-guiding plate towards the keypad; and a switch member positioned beneath the touch sensor. The keypad assembly can provide rear lighting without increasing the thickness. 2 The user can easily recognize whether or not key buttons are pressed correctly and select electric contacts from the touch sensor or the switch member as desired. The keypad assembly provides the user with both menu selection buttons and information input buttons even if the keypad assembly has a small area.
Abstract:
A touch screen is provided, in which a first layer of a transparent electrode is spaced from a second layer of a transparent electrode and a refraction index matching layer is interposed between the first and second layers of the transparent electrodes.
Abstract:
A method and an apparatus for detecting input to a terminal having a touch screen. The method includes the steps of: displaying an active cell activating any one of a plurality of objects displayed on a screen; sensing a touch on a display screen; checking a position touched and a shift direction and a shift distance touched on a basis of the position touched by the user's finger; shifting a position of the active cell according to the shift direction and the shift distance touched; and performing an action of a corresponding object of an area of the active cell if a double tapping signal input on the display screen is sensed.
Abstract:
A dual-band wavelength division multiplexer is disclosed. The multiplexer includes a first and a second slab waveguide, a plurality of channel waveguides connecting the first slab waveguide to the second slab waveguide, an input part connected to the first slab waveguide, and an output part connected to the second slab waveguide. The input part includes an input waveguide for receiving an optical signal from an exterior, and a wavelength division multiplexing filter connected to the input waveguide, for outputting an optical signal in a first band to a first connecting waveguide, and outputting an optical signal in a second band to a second connecting waveguide. The input part also includes a first mode converter connected to the wavelength division multiplexing filter through the first connecting waveguide, for mode-converting the inputted optical signal in the first band and a second mode converter connected to the wavelength division multiplexing filter through the second connecting waveguide, for mode-converting the inputted optical signal in the second band. An output mode of the first mode converter has a width different from that of an output mode of the second mode converter.
